Abstract
If inertial effects are merely gravitational effects (the Berkeley-Mach hypothesis), and if the laws of nature are the same everywhere (the costnological principle), it seems probable that (1) the universe is infinitely great, is not expanding, and is neither open nor closed (2) the cosmic redshift is not a Doppler effect (3) the hypothetical big bang did not occur. Two important words: seems probable.
